To answer your question about redirect you can do the following: In code behind: private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Response.Redirect("http://whatever"); } Or directly in the aspx file in the same manner using As far as trying to access a database, you will have to be a little more specific as far as what you want to do. Are you moving from ASP to ASP.Net programming? Scott Stocker</x-turndown>
